Hello there!
These days I'm helping in a project that requires a lot of historical and archaeological support, it's a Warband mod about the fall of the Western Roman Empire: we are currently researching the warfare, weapons and cities/forts of Europe and North-Africa of the 5th century AD (so AFTER Christ, AD stands for Anno Domini). Therefore I am looking for pictures, academic papers and useful stuff we can use to add in the mod, these are things that MODELERS and MAPPERS can use to model weapons/armors or to make maps (cities, forts, villages, dungeon locations, interiors).
The mod is doing great progresses already and I have been helping there since a couple of months from now. All in all, the developer should be able to release a new version of the mod in few days or weeks, adding a lot of new stuff. The mod is called 457 AD, you can download it on Discord and get in touch there with the developer, me and help with the mod.
I am here because I need your help to make this mod even more special! We need people for:
- Modelling: We need new items, such as armors and weapons. Through academic researches we found several interesting things that would be very interesting to male, such as mordvin masks, germanic single edged swords, different kind of shields, and more.
- Scripting: We might always need new scripts, for hordes/invasion, customizable retinues, manor-building, and more.
- Mapping: We absolutely need mappers to map historical cities around Europe, not only fancy (or decadent!) roman cities, but also germanic fortified longhouses, forts, unique dungeon locations and even villages! Even this needs to be based on real findings and reconstructions.
- Historical researches: That's my field, and in my opinion, one of the most important sides of this mod. I am trying to draw this mod's units as they could have really looked in the 5th century, based on warrior and princely burials mainly. I dont want Osprey pictures as they are not of high standard but mainly archeological finds and true researches.
If any of you krennites, lovers of history, are willing to help, please write down this thread or contact me on Steam! In case, you can directly jump into its Discord.
At the moment I'm focusing my research efforts in 5th century Scandinavia (no Vikings, we're before them) and 5th century Spain (Suebi, Visigoths, Vascones/Cantabrians, Bagaudae and locals of roman culture), but ANY kind of support is needed, as I believe also some old factions could use some restyling.
Oliver, the modder, is doing all alone, therefore any help will be appreciated! If you have any questions, write them below.
